And they forgot about me
Let sin take over
As soon as Eve
Laid a pearly white finger
Upon the flesh of the apple
For those first poisoned bites
Sent wedges
Like earthquakes
In between us.
A huge crack of rubble
Uncrossed,
No bridges to connect
And dust filled the air between
To cut off breath
And to cut you off from me
So you could not see me
And you could not hear me
But I want to know you
I want to hear your voice
I want to know you more.
I want to touch you
I want to see your face
I want to know you more.
And that injection
That sin
Coursed through your veins
And thickened the blood
That connected us
And made it thick and dull and cancerous
Until it was still.
And one day
I hope for a cure
To this evil disease.
Something to help blood flow
Like a river from the crimson heart.
And I will send
A
Bridge between us
To connect us once more
And make a swept
Breeze to clear the air.
I will send Jesus.
